Your friend John is having trouble with his compost bin. The material in his compost pile doesn’t seem to be decomposing well. You take a sample of the pile and check for the presence of microorganisms under the microscope. You see that there are indeed microorganisms; however, they don’t appear to be growing very fast. John says that he regularly mixes his compost pile to expose it to oxygen but has noticed the pile feels cold. What is the most likely explanation for this problem?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AThe compost pile contained aerobic bacteria.%0D%0AThe compost pile contained aerobic bacteria.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe compost pile was placed in the sunshine.%0D%0AThe compost pile was placed in the sunshine.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe compost pile was sufficiently moist.%0D%0AThe compost pile was sufficiently moist.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe compost pile contained incorrect amounts of "greens" and "browns". give right answer
The compost pile contained incorrect amounts of "greens" and "browns".
The compost pile needs to have a balanced ratio of carbon-rich materials (browns) such as dried leaves or straw, and nitrogen-rich materials (greens) such as food scraps or grass clippings. If the ratio is off, the microorganisms in the pile may not have enough nutrients to break down the organic matter efficiently. This could result in slow decomposition and a cold compost pile. Encourage John to adjust the ratio of greens and browns in his compost pile to improve decomposition.
